Yes it is fast, but since I'm with only 96mb of Ram, it swaps the hell out
to the HD... Together with the accelerator I'll get two 128mb DIMMs
(or just one, if I choose the 400mhz G4 Mach carrier)

No need to open an application: just keeping the mouse button
pressed when opening a window hangs the WHOLE OS 9 ! Man, anyone that
prefer 9 over X is totally nuts and didn't used a modern operating
system in the last 5 years (Windows XP, Linux or BeOS)

So
Now that we agreed to get a Daystar XLR8 Mach Carrier G4 card, should
I get their $18 Mach Speed Control for OS X ? It comes with a free
Speed Control tool for OS 9.

Another one (since you're my upgrade guru): should I get EDO or
Non-EDO dimms for my 8600 ? I'll probably get them from OWC.

Thanks again mate
